This is a trialo
At the 1952 Olympics disaster struck in the first round, they had 3 down, and 3 faults for a circle. The British were in sixth place after this round. In round two, Foxhunter had to jump clear for Britain to be able to win gold. Foxhunter rose to the occasion and performed a faultless round to confirm Britain's victory. The great horse continued jumping until he won his 78th international competition at Dublin in 1956. He had already 'retired' once in 1954, and he and Harry enjoyed two seasons of hunting. However foxhunter made a comeback by special request for Dublin. Foxhunter enjoyed a happy retirement at the Llewellyn's home until he died in 1959 at the age of 19.
